How much does waterfront FL Keys cost? 

We dont live in houses in the Keys. We live outdoors. We sleep in houses and clean up and thats about it. Dont need much square footage.

Love following you two these years! thank you all for sharing with me!

You folks are very nice people and it’s a pleasure to watch what you have going on down there . Congrats! I’m looking forward to seeing your new home!!

Congrats on the new home purchase! I'm glad you were able to find a place you like up near Marathon. I can't wait to learn more. Thanks again for showing us homes and showing us around the last time we were in town. Your knowledge, honesty, and good nature shined through just like in your videos! We still haven't decided whether to make the leap or not but if we do you'll be the first people we call!

I love how sweet you two are together! I bought a Nature Coast Florida canal-front home that leads out to The Gulf, and maintenance on the boat is ongoing ----but worth it. It was always my dream as a kid to live on the waterfront. Congratulations on living your dream.

Great video. Glad things are going well for you guys. As far as reaching out for non-real estate related advice, We recently made our first trip to the keys, and Mark was super responsive and very helpful on a few questions I had about flying our daughter into Key West and the options for getting her up to Marathon where we were staying. Thanks Mark!

So good to see y’all again. You’ve done a fabulous job on the Ramrod house. Congratulations on your new home in Marathon. Can’t wait to see it too. Take care & again, Congrats😘

Love following you fine folk's journey and look forward to keeping up. Congrats on the success and new home. Keep the good coming. Doug

Congratulations guys! I was thinking last week you hadn’t put out a video in a while. Glad to see you back.

Awesome video! I always look forward to seeing you two living your dreams. Congrats on your new home and if I'm ever in a position to buy down there I know exactly who to call. Great to see another video - we'll be holding onto our seats until the next one. Enjoy, and have a Merry Christmas.

Congrats love the video looking forward to the Marathon video

Great video.. can't wait to see what you do with the new place

Just finally saw this. Congratulations! Another nice video. Heppy to see your hard work pay off.

Great video guys, the place looks great, can't wait to see the new place in Marathon. I just got back from Marathon a week and a half ago, it was great down there, great location.

WOW!!! Congratulations on the new home! I think your little house is lovely too. Good luck on the move!

Congratulations on both your new home and finishing current. You mentioned Knights key. We loved the sunset grill and the view of the 7 mile bridge. And Knights key. That's my goal. Fitting look at my last name. Lol

Congrats on the new place. Love the Keys...a few of my great aunt and uncle's on my mom's side all had places in the Keys from the 60's till 1990 . The last one sold her house for about 30k I'm told. What a sweet deal that would have been! Looking forward to the new vids!

You both are an inspiration to us, you are the reason we made the decision to move to the keys because of all your informative videos of your experiences and real living in the keys and you also include your family & friends including all your real work. Just saying thanks for everything you do. Duke & Victoria 😊

Mark and Laurie, you guys have a very nice house, but what makes it a lovely home is the two of you guys. Thanks, for sharing your home with us. Blessings and peace!

Love this! Good luck with your new property! I know who to call when I decide to move from Tampa area! Best of luck and keep posting !!

Congratulations to you guys on your new home purchase. 🎉

Awesome video! Congrats on both houses!

Congratulations on both homes! We love the Keys and are looking forward to our retirement vacations there!

Hey! you two. How great to see your smiling faces again. I have not been good at keeping up right now, so I am glad I did not miss too much from you. Love your little house and can't wait to see what is next for you with the Marathon house. My sister is coming to stay with me for the holidays and I have to prepare for that. It is miserable here in PA. Rain, cold, and I heard that it is all to get worse later this week. OH! to be in warm weather. Have a wonderful holiday and I will catch up with you again. OH! yes, I took my photo off here and put flowers. I was getting strange messages from some weird man on the comments I made to others I watch on here. That was a first for me.

Congrats on the second house. That's the way to do it! Keep moving onward and forward!

Happy for you guys. We are on vacation. In Orlando this week and in Marathon next week (17th - 24th).

Blessings to both of you in all you do👍❤️

Congrats guys!

You two are truly blessed!!

Very nice home, congrats Gables. Oh my what a surprise, sold the GA property, now you really have found home. Another congrats. Enjoyed the video.

Congrats! Thanks for the informative video.

Another quality video guys.congrats on the selling and buying.busy folks

Great Video Guys! Nice to see your video. again. That house would be a great bachelor pad.

Excited for you two!

Congratulations on your new home. I am bringing the family to Marathon in three weeks for a week stay in Key Colony Beach. My wife and I come down at this time every year. (When we can border cross) from Ontario Canada. Our favorite place to relax and enjoy the people and weather. Maybe bump into you some time in the future. Enjoy your videos. Very good with loads of information. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Congratulations Mark and Laurie on the new Marathon house. The Ramrod Key house really looks great. You did such a good job on the updating and glad to see you were able to keep the cool kitchen cabinets. Good luck on the move and hope to see you down the road.

Congratulations on getting the house in Marathon. Glad to see you coming back up to the other side of the bridge. Maybe we will run into you in Publix or Home Depot some day. Enjoy!

Love the turquoise coloring!

You guys seem like generally nice people. Thanks so much for your video. Definitely thinking about a home down there....lol

Congratulations Gables!

Can’t wait to see all about the new house! 🥳

RTR!!!!, We did give you a great coach! I will say you did a great job with this house. I just started watching. I still have a full time job,APCO.

Congratulations you too, I know you really love marathon area so that works out perfectly and we wish you all the best. Hope to see you around.

Thanks. Nice honest informative video

I've been a huge fan of your videos and have been a subsriber for a while now. I just returned from my first trip to the Keys. I lodged in Grassy Key, and I loved the neighborhood. Everyone down there was so friendly. I'd hit Publix for ice and beer, go to Sombrero for some sunlight and then go to Keys Fisheries for the best seafood I've ever had. I even got to witness a turtle release. My only complaint would be the chickens trying to bite me in the Publix lot and the $9 I had to spend for 18 eggs in the store. The prices at the grocery store were the only prices that were obnoxious. I'd say everything else was reasonable. I can't wait to return with the family. Thank you for the content, and congratulations on your new purchase.

Great video, nice job on the rebuild. We are part-time residents in Key Largo, we bought a condo which was suppose to be our winter residents, but for the last year it has been used as vacation rental property. People are willing to drop $5,000 a week just to vacation in the Florida Keys so it's pretty much a no - brainer......

❤ love your vids 😊

Great news.......... Looking forward to more video's

Someday… love the Keys I go down every year ,my youngest son loves it down there also 👍👍

Just found your website. You are living the exact same dream I want. You have a perfect sized house.

Enjoy and do a little fishing. Thanks for the info

You guys finding out early about the house being for sale is what we used to call *_"The Coconut Telegraph!"_*

Very cool!

Congratulations 🎉Love Marathon and DRC❤️🐬❤

Merry Christmas and a happy new year if I don’t see you

🤠You guys give more info than most realtors.

Perfect, thanks

Hey Gables, love your videos. Although we're not likely to buy real soon, we do dream. We are going to be riding the keys and staying in Marathon for a little while next week. Let me know if you guys feel like grabbing a cup of coffee and chatting.- Bruce

I'm a long time Keys resident, 44 years. I was just hit by Ian, my house, on the water, did well but this is the worst I have ever endured from a hurricane. I'm ready to go back home. I lived on Big Pine and then Summerland (Summerland Cove Isles).

Hi guys. Thanks for the great videos. I just love the palm trees I’m your yard. I live in Maryland on the Chesapeake bay. I visit the keys once in a while. I always wanted to buy a small piece of land there to put my toy hauler trailer. Maybe I should talk to you all to see if people do that down there.

Congrats, I am still kicking myself for not moving on a 400,000$ place in Ramrod Key back in 2019 it is more than double that since COVID... looking forward to seeing the new place.

Thanks for the video. Great real world info on real estate expenses. Do most buyers use property inspectors when purchasing?

I spent June and December of 2021 in Cudjoe nad can't wait to go back. What an awesoem place to live

Congratulations on another house. 😊

And I hear the collective sigh at about 12:02... that is a fantastic keys home!!! Boat right outside, built on stilts, it's perfect!

Glad y’all are living your dream! Go Dawgs!

Hey Mark and Laurie did you guys get your jelly fish lamp from the owners of the house you sold? What a fun lamp!!?

Beautiful homes congratulations God bless

Outstanding place. I'm a retired Naval aviator. Looking forward to finding a place in the keys

I love honest video's , I may move to Key West the Navy Base has rental town homes / condo's that will give a chance to check Island Time Out to video's like this one really educate viewers.

OH!!!!! I almost forgot! Could you pleeaaaaasssseeeee show us a better picture of that lamp that was in the corner as soon as you come into the living room from the porch. What were those things hanging from it? Lights? It looked like a jelly fish. Can we see it lit up? Love it! 😁

love your channel guys. do you know if people who are wheelchair bound live there? can you make a video if they do..

The house looks good; very functional. I owned an elevated house in Port Aransas, Texas and discovered that there was a lot of condensation under the floors from the AC unit operating in the humidity. Have they figured out hw to deal with that? My question is regarding institutional financing for a house bought in a condition like yours; is it available or do you go with hard money and then refinance when the project is done? Have you sold any liveaboard boat slips down there?

I have yet to visit the keys but I am planning on a trip down there,I’m in Northern Ohio and I hate it,I’m 55 and have had six back surgeries and a total knee replacement on my right knee,I Love Florida and am planning on a move there for the weather and because it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen

My late wife love Marathon Christmas Florida

Looking down your canal, I didn't see any sailboats. Is that because of a bridge to cross under or shallow water, or just that none of your neighbors are into sailing? Does sailboat access jack up the home cost significantly? I'm hoping to get a 42-45' cat with about a 24' beam and 4' draft. Current boat is a 31' tri with 22' beam but folds to 9'. But I've heard year round sailboat insurance is getting nearly impossible in price and availability in Florida.

How’s the market in the upper keys area? Canal front. Looking to relocate from Miami and purchase soon

I've never seen you guys' video's. but I think you guys look amazing and beautiful together... Let me guess I imagine another cost a lot of money to live at the Florida keys. I've been to Marathon Island... I have anxiety the whole time I was there I couldn't eat...😓🌍

Wow! What a deal...even with reno costs...

Can we have an update on the Marathon home? Interested to see what you’ve done with it.

Good for you Christmas Florida

New subscriber here.

Great video. Let me ask you, how bad are the floods? how often do floods occur? What is your county doing for the roads to your homes to combat flooding? How are the taxes and flood insurance for the Florida keys housing market? Sorry for all the questions. I really am interested in purchasing a property down there.

Great video! How is the traffic down in the Keys?

You know, I was wondering what was going on with you two. Missed ya. When you were coming up to the big surprise I was thinking… oh no she’s pregnant 😅. Well congratulations. I wish my insurance was that cheap! They have gone crazy in Sebastian.

Water quality kinda sucks in marathon... I'll keep my little torch key home with clear canals... y'all make great videos i like to watch while our keys home is rented out in the peak months... thanks

I find that you two school teachers have found your spot in the keys! I would love to live down in the Keys, but have a school teacher son and news media son, with a construction son up here in the Mid West of Northern Ohio and three grandchildren up here! ! Just saying that it would be hard to leave our three boys and our three grand children in Ohio if we moved!

I have lived there before, from Boca, to Florida City on the mainland. And up and down the Keys when I worked in the Caribbean for the government… but I actually enjoy living in Georgia better, and just visiting Florida.

Hey guys we have been watching your videos a while , we moved from North Carolina to Venice Florida in 2022 . We want to move to Keywest next . My wife is a realtor . We’re both licensed but I don’t work in real estate I work an 8-5 job to ensure we make ends meet since we just moved this year. Everything has been great the move was a success praise God. We do want to get to Keywest sooner than later . What do you think the marker is going to do this year 2023 what are your projections for the Keywest real estate market ?

Congrats on the new house in marathon, not sure why you would pay what you did to buy a house on the water. i am sure you will fill us in.

looking for a place in keys is there any ocean areas that ban fishing i don't want to get a home in that area?

I love a Georgia peach! She's a keeper. I moved to GA to marry mine.

Cape Coral on a wider private canal 2500 sq/ft $300-400 K. 20 min to the Gulf. 15 min to I-75 ... Why go to the Keys? Florida on the water with boat steps away is almost gone at any price. The Keys is FAR away travel though. After Hurricane Ian, some of the Fort Myers people are selling. Might be an option. Cape Coral is really hot now.

I'm not too concerned about the price of the real estate. I'd really like to know how long it will be above sea level?

How well is Amazon delivering down there?
